The Horseshoe Curve

Our trip home included a visit to the famous Horseshoe Curve. Ok, famous if you're a railroad buff -- and there just might be one or two (or three!) in the family. They hand out a rail timetable on the way in so that you know when the trains will be coming through. It is a spectacular sight. The engineers know to watch out for little train fans who's waves are rewarded by a blast of the engine's horn. Kel was thrilled. There is even a funicular to ride up the hill to the curve. This was a real treat on our last day of vacation.

It was another sunny day and thus required much squinting. Summertime. What can you do?
